I'm not trying to be an A hole or anything of this matter, I'm just wondering if you can send it back in to FT-86speedfactory and have them return it to stock, ship it back, then ship it back out to them to have them retune it.

This wouldn't be a bad option though if you have a master tuner close to your house if they do offer this.
Every ECU has to have a license, you are right (see above post).

On the back to stock issue, yes the tuner will be able to take it back to stock. But, as soon as I flash my car, I consider warranty related to the ECU is done.

And also remember, dealers are not out there looking for ECU's flashed. It is very rare that a dealer needs to flash an ECU so they wouldn't even look at that if say you needed a taillight to be replaced.
